ZipRealty Finds California Is For Lovers! Golden State Homes Rank as the Most Romantic


San Francisco Bay Area
EMERYVILLE, CA -- ZipRealty just released a study on how frequently the word ‘romantic’ is used in a home listing description, based on data compiled in 2013 on 24 major metros on ZipRealty.com.

Less than 1% of all the homes were described as romantic, but California has the most romantic homes, according to the results. Four of the top five metro areas are located in the Golden State: Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego and the San Francisco Bay Area.

Home listings with the word romantic were 86% more expensive and nearly one-third larger than those without the term.
